Thanks, I could not remember what the other one was carrying but thought they both had long guns which was a big advantage.
Matix had little effect on the fight. His door was jammed and he only fired one round of #6 shot.
It is a strange load to use for serious social purposes.
Platt acted like the highly trained and experienced fighter that he was. If his actions had been in the service of his country, he would likely have been awarded a medal.
Unfortunately, his skills were used to murder and steal.
